10/20 – Strengthening Curricular Programs to Promote Continuous School Improvement

You are a principal and your school is assigned a curriculum support specialist from the district office. As the first weeks of the new school year pass, you observe that the specialist spends most of her days in her office and does not seem to be making a meaningful impact on teaching and learning. When you probe for more information about her day-to-day job tasks, you find that she is also unsure of her role. How do you approach a resolution to this issue?

You are a principal and one of your veteran teachers is using a lesson plan that is not aligned to the course curriculum map. How do you provide support to the veteran teacher to revise the lesson plan? How do you intend to show compassion, justice, and concern for this teacher?
